Why Trump and Vance are flailing against Kamala Harris

This is a post from FrameLab contributor Jason Sattler. Jason is LOLGOP on Twitter and pretty much any other social media platform. His writing has appeared in USA TODAY, Wired.com, the New York Daily News and Alternet.

Kamala Harris is a woman. And she’s not just a woman – compared to Donald Trump, she’s a young woman. And she’s Black and Asian-American and biracial AND exuberant. If you were going to design a person who is NOT supposed to be president, according to the strict-father conservative hierarchy that defines Trump's Republican Party, it would be Harris.

Yet Donald Trump and JD Vance are floundering. They’re stumbling, bumbling, and seething as they attempt to find any attack that will pierce the euphoria now overwhelming the Democratic Party.

Since he tried to end American democracy, he’s been on a lucky streak. He’s been enabled by the vengeful cowards in his party, backed up by a Republican Supreme Court majority and the vast capital interests who oppose Joe Biden’s pro-worker and pro-environmental accomplishments. And he's been blessed by opponents who were ill-suited to take him on directly.

With Harris in the race, his luck may have run out.

He’s managed to find a way around his previous failings. But if Americans are given a clear choice about the two futures these candidates represent, most Americans will choose the future where women are allowed to laugh.

1. Be prepared.

Have credible responses to policy-based attacks.

Don't just think the subject can be changed away from whatever substantive criticism is leveled.
